SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, AoA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance.

The Alzheimer's Disease Supportive Services Program (ADSSP) is authorized through Sections 398, 399 and 399A of the Public Health Services (PHS) Act, as amended by Public Law 101-557 Home Health Care and Alzheimer's Disease Amendments of 1990. The ADSSP helps states extend supportive services to persons with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers, including underserved populations.

In compliance with the PHS Act, AoA developed an ADSSP Data Collection Reporting Tool (ADSSP-DCRT) in 2007. The ADSSP-DCRT collects information about the delivery of direct services by ADSSP state grantees, as well as basic demographic information about service recipients. This revised version includes some revisions to the approved 2007 version. The revised version would be in effect for the FY2011 reporting year and thereafter, while the current reporting tool, OMB Approval Number 0985-0022, would be extended to the end of the FY2010 reporting cycle.

The proposed FY2011 ADSSP-DCRT can be found on AoA's Web site at: http://www.aoa.gov/​AoARoot/​AoA_​Programs/​HCLTC/​Alz_​Grants/​docs/​ADSSP.pdf.

AoA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: 1410 hours.

Dated: May 18, 2010.

Assistant Secretary for Aging.
